Abstract (en)

A power supply for an electric appliance having an operating mode and a standby mode includes a transformer block (9) for producing a constant power output into two low voltage outputs (Vc and Vcc), an operating power supply circuit (2) coupled to one of the two low voltage outputs (Vcc) to power the appliance during the operating mode, and a receiver circuit (3) coupled to the other low voltage output via an impedance path (14, 15). The receiver circuit (3) includes a switch (17) for switching a very low impedance into a path parallel with the first impedance when it receives a signal indicating that the appliance is to enter the standby mode, so that the voltage at the other low voltage output (Vcc) is reduced, thereby increasing the current drawn by the receiver circuit (3) and thus reducing the power available to the operating power supply circuit (2). <IMAGE>
